1.Beyond the Hundredth Meridian: John Wesley Powell and the Second Opening of the WestBeyond the Hundredth Meridian: John Wesley Powell and the Second Opening of the West
from Penguin (Non-Classics)
Price: $8.88

Customer Review:
John Wesley Powell was "present at the creation," to use the expression popularized by Dean Acheson. The later was referring to the post-World War II era; Powell was present at the creation of the American West, during the period of its settlement by whites, from the end of the American Civil War to... more info

2.Blood and Thunder: An Epic of the American WestBlood and Thunder: An Epic of the American West
from Random House Audio
Price: $17.25

Customer Review:
I got this book on the recommendation of a friend and just before we did a 3 week trip to New Mexico and Arizona in the fall of 2009. The book is very well written and with my prior knowledge of the area, it was a wonderful way to read and prepare for our trip. The authors style is easy to read and... more info

3.Undaunted Courage : Meriwether Lewis, Thomas Jefferson, and the Opening of the American WestUndaunted Courage : Meriwether Lewis, Thomas Jefferson, and the Opening of the American West
from Simon & Schuster
Price: $4.95

Customer Review:
I want to offer a more reserved review of this book (i.e., one that is not nearly as gushing as many), for which I will probably be flamed. Most readers seem to love the book, and I too was anxious to get into it each evening and finished it with a new appreciation and interest for the L&C... more info

4.The Oregon Trail: Sketches of Prairie and Rocky Mountain LifeThe Oregon Trail: Sketches of Prairie and Rocky Mountain Life
from Kessinger Publishing, LLC
Price: $23.10

Customer Review:
Very enjoyable! You can't beat a first person report of traveling through Indian territory! The descriptions of the perils of the journey plus first hand experiences in dealing with the native population make you feel as if you are there, sitting in the teepee, watching as an Indian woman kills and... more info

5.Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee: An Indian History of the American WestBury My Heart at Wounded Knee: An Indian History of the American West
from Holt Paperbacks
Price: $8.97

Customer Review:
This is the Classic it was made to be by history. It is the story of conflict, greed, war crimes, torture embedded in the Euro-American DNA. It could well be India, Africa or the Middle East in illustrating the capacity for cruelty and the conspiracy between the Cross and the Crown to demonize... more info

6.A Terrible Glory: Custer and the Little Bighorn - the Last Great Battle of the American WestA Terrible Glory: Custer and the Little Bighorn - the Last Great Battle of the American West
from Back Bay Books
Price: $8.67

Customer Review:
I wanted to research the "true" story of the demise of Custer and found the book to be extremely detailed and even-handed. The writer was recognized as one of our best Western authors, with good reason I would say.

7.The Children s Blizzard (P.S.)The Children's Blizzard (P.S.)
from Harper Perennial
Price: $5.43

Customer Review:
What a sad book and even more so because it's true. The horrible way many of the children died during the blizzard of 1888 is shocking and would cause a public outcry today. It also chronicles the workings of then weather service and should make many today glad for the service they have. The pages... more info

from Simon & Schuster
Price: $3.75

Customer Review:
I have spend a great amount of time, and I believe rightly so, in drawing out the lessons of the struggle against slavery as they were played out as the great task of the American Civil War of the mid-19th century. I have mentioned, generally in passing, that the other great task of that fight was... more info

9.Desperate Passage: The Donner Party s Perilous Journey WestDesperate Passage: The Donner Party's Perilous Journey West
from Oxford University Press, USA
Price: $9.87

Customer Review:
Not a proud moment in the history of our country and the migration west - but the author has done a great job pulling from journals and records to tell the story from the point of view of the members of the party. The story is well known by many only for the cannabilism - however, there is much more... more info

10.The Journals of Lewis and Clark-The American Heritage LibraryThe Journals of Lewis and Clark-The American Heritage Library
from Houghton Mifflin (P)
Price: $2.50

Customer Review:
It's amazing they pulled it off and lost only one man (and got into a real fight with the natives only once) and despite all the incredible difficulties wrote it all down. There is no substitute for getting it directly from the horse's mouth. Bernard DeVoto does a great job keeping the story flowing... more info
